AlexDawson mentioned that "beginners books because they only focus on building a single example which doesn't meet anyones needs". While this may be true, found that I needed a basis to start learning from.. Before I followed this tutorial I was blindly searching out tutorials on the web that, while useful, did not explain the WHOLE process from inception to a final product and the all of the steps in between. While it is true the "BubbleUnder" example from the book is not at all the type of sites I will be building it gave me a basic understanding of how to take an idea start to finish.

Yep, some people respond really well to a solid example. And if the example also teaches important principles, then it's a good grounding. Others maybe prefer to read theory and such.

Really, it's different strokes for different folks.
